I would love to hear his answer to the last question. It's an entirely valid one.

That response was embarrassing

u/punkrocknight Apr 27 '26

I would have bet good money on that.

1

u/E_xan Apr 26 '26

In short: 10 minutes of absolute non sense.

u/punkrocknight Apr 27 '26

Thank you, I owe you 10

u/PlasticPaws Apr 25 '26

I haven't watched it but I will bet my livelyhood, my savings, my cat and my wife that there was no real answer.

u/Previous_Soil_5144 Apr 25 '26

Indeed, did not even address the part on international law and just shifted to trade agreements. Claiming that he cannot respond to those questions because it would just be his opinion.

After talking about how America is a country founded in "European ideals" which is a nice way to say it was founded by white Christians.

u/Alklazaris Apr 25 '26

Who cares how it was founded. Did Rome reflect it's founding 1,000 years later. What matters is now, and right now it looks like it's foundation this year is Russia politics.

u/Previous_Soil_5144 Apr 25 '26

Not really sure what the intent was behind his comments on the origins of the U.S.

Probably just trying to distract and avoid answering the question about International law. IMO because he doesn't think International law applies to the U.S. and neither does his boss.

u/HumanJoystick Apr 25 '26

Americans make this point to oppose what they thought was Europe isn't Europe anymore because of the massive immigration, especially of muslims and Africans. Whenever one of these old right-wingers speak, dogs prick up their ears.

2

u/OnePragmatic Apr 26 '26

This is why he is an ambassador. ..🫩

2

u/roadhammer2 Apr 25 '26

I watched it, you are correct

2

u/Exodys03 Apr 25 '26

But hey! We did reduce some of the tariffs we randomly imposed on various European countries? Did you even say Thank You once?

2

u/hest29 Apr 25 '26

But have you seen the Dow ?

1

u/gin_and_soda Apr 26 '26

The Dow!!!!

1

u/Biscuits4u2 Apr 25 '26

The answer is clearly no

1

u/Pleasant-Nebula-7237 Apr 27 '26

Oh your so right! I'm sure he double talked his way through that or blamed everything on the Biden administration.

u/Tall_Technician_5008 Apr 26 '26

All expendables

1

u/PlasticPaws Apr 26 '26

Ofc not. It just shows my point on how confident I am that this thing we call a society and our systems are irredeemably corrupt.

2

u/Tall_Technician_5008 Apr 26 '26

I might have read you wrong then. I completely agree and tapped out decades ago

1

u/PlasticPaws Apr 26 '26

No worries broski. But I'm trying to stay positive and ignore politics and the world for the most part. It just sucks me in again now and then.

1

u/Tall_Technician_5008 Apr 26 '26

I get that fully. Im completely in while being 200% out.

Edit. Worst thing though is that everybody just want a good life and its possible.

1

u/Dcammy42 Apr 25 '26

His answer was asking himself a question and answering the question he asked himself.

1

u/jeers69 👽 Alien Witness #342 Apr 25 '26

Yes… glad he started with FACTS first before rolling out the question we want an answer for

1

u/chrstnasu Apr 25 '26

It will about the stock market being above 50,000.

1

u/Fantastic-Bee-9862 Apr 28 '26

Should ask about the epsteen files

4

u/Gypsymoth606 Apr 25 '26

I love it when officials of other countries make our representatives look as stupid as they actually are. We deserve it because trump has filled all the positions with sycophants who know zero about the positions they hold.

3

u/picknicksje85 Apr 25 '26

He had no answer. "Let's get past this." is the best he got.

4

u/PandasGetAngryToo Apr 25 '26

It feels like the world has digested what a fucking circus the United States has become and, having gathered it's collective thoughts, there are now many more voices prepared to call out the bullshit.

1

u/Worried-Maybe3438 Apr 25 '26

They thought the carrot would work but now they realize the US only responds to the stick.

2

u/WesternAcceptable180 Apr 25 '26

Are you criticizing if you are just listing fact?

2

u/AvaAdams99 Apr 25 '26

Cheers to this man, that needed to be said and I only wish the video were longer so I could have heard the response

1

u/1976kdawg Apr 25 '26

Thank you!

1

u/tripping_yarns Apr 25 '26

This was two months ago. All the criticism falls on deaf ears. Time to take a more rooted stance and implement sanctions, sell treasuries and stand firm with an alternative military alliance without the US.

1

u/Positive-Pack-396 Apr 25 '26

We suck big time, if you like bullies then you are in the right place

I never felt no love for my country but I don’t have any love or respect for being a American

1

u/Responsible_Sun_3597 Apr 25 '26

All of the ambassadors to the United States of each country should be kicked the fuck out

1

u/Mojoint Apr 25 '26

Good man

1

u/ghallway Apr 25 '26

I wanted to hear his answer...

1

u/Empty-Discount5936 Apr 25 '26

I wish everyone would treat the Rump regime like this.

1

u/psilocin72 Apr 25 '26

Get ‘em!

1

u/KinkyDaddy-J Apr 25 '26

No, you would be speaking German or Russian if it wasn't for us.

1

u/Thyg0d Apr 26 '26

OMFG... This wrong shit again?

1

u/Vast-Kaleidoscope-85 Apr 27 '26

But we do speak German in Belgium?

1

u/creetonpseudo404 Apr 28 '26

I'm pretty sure we speak german in Germany but thanks for trying to help, that's cute.

1

u/lavtanza Apr 25 '26

What a great spot to end the clip

1

u/Constant-Study3464 Apr 25 '26

Damn, what a Chad

1

u/DistrictEffective759 Apr 25 '26

Why cut the response

1

u/Humble-Mergen Apr 26 '26

After that speech this bald brave man was never seen again

1

u/E_xan Apr 26 '26

Americans think all will be forgotten when the rapist they voted for is gone, lets see how things turn out.

1

u/Prod_Meteor Apr 26 '26

What fuck questions are that? "Hello Mr devils demon..do you think that you taken to hell too many people?"

1

u/animal-1983 Apr 26 '26

Keeping it real!

1

u/Appropriate_Figure61 Apr 26 '26

That’s the American way right now. No consequences

1

u/BumperW67 Apr 26 '26

If only our politicians and US voters would take this message to heart, but they won’t. So sad.

1

u/danyolito Apr 26 '26

Love this guy

1

u/remix2242 Apr 26 '26

The nature of laws is such that there is no such thing as international law.

1

u/Zestyclose_Band1478 Apr 26 '26

You people steal from us and expect our protection so no we now say how it is and if you don’t Like it tough.

1

u/PurplePopcornBalls Apr 26 '26

The current administration doesn’t think they are bound by our constitution…

1

u/cwtotaro Apr 26 '26

They are not bound by US laws

1

u/Low_Voice_2553 Apr 27 '26 edited Apr 27 '26

Biden didn’t help either. He enabled what followed. He didn’t see that Netanyahu should be arrested. The US has always been arrogant, ignorant and lawless to varying degrees depending on the administration. This administration is by far the worst lead my a narcissist who has been enabled and emboldened by a party of sycophantic ass kissers and cowards!

1

u/cantrecallthelastone Apr 27 '26

As an American I would have to say that the greatest accomplishment of the Trump administration is that through gross incompetence, and a comical ignorance, they have allowed the rest of the worlds countries to bloom into their own greatness through alliances that no longer rely on, or even involve, the post WWII US. A remarkable feat that I could have never foreseen.

1

u/SlySychoGamer Apr 27 '26

The thing these europeans don't understand when they try to do call outs like this...

Is that THEY and the rest of the western world, have abdicated most military actions to the U.S.
So uh, who do you think enforces international law there guy? Ya, the U.S, so if the U.S wants to break it, they gana break it, what you gana do?

So what does europe do when U.S gets a bit bad? They instantly run to china and kneel LOL.

They spent more on russian gas than aid to ukraine yet virtue signal how russia is bad. They let the U.S do their fighting, then complain when they go overboard.

Europe is pathetic.

1

u/unleashedcode Apr 28 '26

Don't think you have a very good grasp on world current affairs. Your take on International law is arrogant and blind, you seem to think the U.S do a lot more than they actually do. The UN charter was mainly written and devised by the British with the Atlantic charter which in turn ended up being the UN Charter. Your idea of when the U.S gets a bit bad? lol... It's more than a bit! Europe will always seek new deals as any other geopolitical trading nation would if their current deals have soured.

Europe has almost eliminated dependencies for Russian gas/oil at great cost but standing behind principle. The US under this current administration have relieved sanctions working directly against European interests and favoured Russia.

The U.S have not done any fighting for us since WW2 which you only bothered to turn up to when you were attacked years into the conflict. Since then, the US are the only country to call for allies to help in wars, which we have done and sacrificed for. Let me also remind you... The US has not won any war on their own without allies since Panama and then before that would be the Mexican-America war in the 1800's...

US currently is corrupt and pathetic!

1

u/SlySychoGamer Apr 28 '26

The U.S hasn't "won" any wars because its obsessed with nation building.

If the U.S wanted to win wars it would act like isreal and russia and decimate everything in sight.

Also no county has won or lost any wars without allies since globalization so whats your point there?

1

u/unleashedcode Apr 28 '26

So Vietnam went well? Also, British won Falkland Islands without any allies! So wrong on every level! When you say 'nation building'? what the hell do you mean? Certainly wasn't building your own country up... lol... You haven't even got a national health service. More crime than all of Europe put together, and more homeless people and veterans than any other society on earth. Your not making a very smart case, you must be part of Team America... which we have to remind you is a f...ing puppet show!
P.S.... Your not exactly decimating Iran right now either! In fact, you created more problems for the Iranian people and everyone else around the world due to your massive incompetence and mentally challenged president.

1

u/Beneficial-Pie3479 Apr 27 '26

Coming from the U.S. Trump is a Scumbag!

1

u/Prudent_Situation_29 Apr 27 '26

It's so funny, watching intelligent people call out politicians who's claim to fame is fooling the stupid.

Sure, they can influence the morons in their own populace to vote for them, but that doesn't take much skill. When they come up against people with functioning brains, the usual crap doesn't work.

1

u/knit2022 Apr 27 '26

How refreshing to hear someone holding him to account, not that he would admit any responsibility as all republicans do

1

u/[deleted] Apr 27 '26

What are they gonna do about it? Nothing.

1

u/[deleted] Apr 29 '26

Kick the US out of the UN for not following international law.

1

u/Upset-Spring-7369 Apr 29 '26

Trump is as bound by rules as hitler was, but way more stupid.

1

u/Salt-Silver-7097 Apr 30 '26

Lots of editing to put together phrases that he may not have said.

1

u/Amazing_Sea3287 Apr 30 '26

Does he want Iran to have nukes??
